"Apparently Vanish bugged for her." In the entire history of WoW, that's only happened to two million rogues, and (at MOST), twelve thousand times each! What are the freakin' odds? /Shadowgrasp Casts "Make Smoke" /"Make Smoke" Fades from Shadowgrasp /Shadowgrasp has died

Description

I told Tinky not to go off on her own, but she just HAD to check out that crashed necropolis to the west. I'm 100% certain that those cultists came from inside that thing, which means I'm now 100% certain that Tinky's in trouble! She's the airstrip's number one engineer. Without her we're doomed! I'd find her myself, but one of those things got in a swipe on my leg before I could vanish again. {name}, if anyone can get her out, it's you!

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • There's Something Going On In Those CavesBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    So, while you were out taking care of those plagued beasts, I took a peek inside the caves up there. There are cultists in there plaguing them! They have some sort of noxious concoction brewing in a cauldron.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Might As Well Wipe Out the ScourgeBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    If the cultists up in those caves survived the crash, then that fallen necropolis to the west can only be assumed to still be filled with Scourge. There're probably lots of them out in front of it in the pools, too!
